I take a package of vitamins and supplements only on the days when I work out. It makes a noticeable difference, but I only take them as needed. Some of them are allegedly hard on the kidneys/liver. Like any other drug, use with caution.

This poll isn't very helpful. What multivitamin? Everyday? Once a week? With food? What other supplements? It's just as likely that women who take supplements are doing so because of some health issue, thinking vitamins will help. Or they may believe supplements cancel out poor diet choices, or alcoholism. They may have been at higher risk for disease in the first place. Suggesting cause-and-effect is lame.

Woe are we for being blinded by industry in the pursuit of optimum nutrition. When did mother nature take a back seat to providing essential nutrients to human beings? I have long questioned the bastardization and exploitation of what nature provides us, and now new information which is being published proves that mankind has a lot more to learn and could use a mega dose of humility. The supplement industry's repsponses to these allegations are feeble. Check out Dr. Greger's blog post for more in depth information at http://nutritionfacts.org/?p=4597

Another year goes by and we at the executive level of SHPS wish to say thank you once again for all your hard work and dedication. Your hard work has not gone by unnoticed. We're also hoping you have not noticed this will be yet another year gone by with no pay increase of any kind for any of you (excluding us, of course). Not even a cost of living increase. How time flies - it's been what - at least 4 years now since your last raise?

Yes, times are tough for all of you and we appreciate that. We appreciate it even more that because of your sacrifices those of us at the highest levels of management are able continue our flagrant lifestyles with salary increases and perks that would boggle your minds.

Yes, we expect the best from you, our loyal and dedicated employees. Especially since we've somehow received the worst online reputation we have seen in decades, i.e. being audited and disciplined by the Office of the Attorney General of the United States, bad Better Business Bureau reports and bad customer and employee reviews. And for that, YOU are the ones that will need to struggle with putting food on your tables, clothe your families and gas in your cars - not us. Sorry!

That said, let me share with you some interesting facts and figures to help you understand why we're getting increases and you're not:

BUT - as you can see from the below and WE'RE not starving up here which should make you all proud of youselves for your sacrifices to SHPS Corporate! After all, if we're not happy, you're not happy, and we thank you for recognizing that. We also thank you for tightening all your belts so WE don't have to!
